Mickoski said the government’s initial objective was for nominal GDP to reach $20 billion by the end of its term, but that figure was achieved as early as 2025. He added that the next target is $22 billion, emphasizing that developments this year will determine the further trajectory. According to him, the first half of the year has exceeded expectations.
The prime minister described the growth in the indicators as bad news for the opposition and said the government was working to consolidate the country after the situation it had allegedly inherited from the previous administration. He cited as problems a state that had been destroyed and plundered, a devastated economy and citizens, as well as a lack of ideas.
Industrial production also rose by 2.4% in September, the last month of the third quarter. Mickoski noted that the quarter recorded industrial growth, while, as he put it, an invisible and silent Third World War linked to developments in energy resources was taking place around the world./Telegrafi/
